Hopefully someone can help me with this.

I've got a few Photoshop actions that I've been using for personal projects, and I'm considering releasing them to the public. I'd like to make them as version compliant as possible, to suit a wider audience.

What I'm wondering is, if I've created actions in CS (PS v8), how far back in versions would the actions work? I've heard some people say version 7, but I couldn't get a definate answer.

Thanks!

It really depends on the functions used in the action. If you create an action with basic functions and filters found it version 4 it should run in 4. However if the action contains things only found in CS its not going to work in anything but CS.

Good point. It was a while ago that I put the actions together, but I believe the only out of the ordinary thing I used would be layer blending modes. From what I can remember, most of these modes are the same ones I would've used in version 7.

Anyone happen to have a copy of ver 7 still installed somewhere? I wouldn't mind some help in testing.

I have an old 8100 Mac running system 7.5 that I have version 4 and 5 on.

Also on my winXP machine I still have 7 installed. I'll be happy to test them for you.
